15:35 - 16:05 That was a very wholesome interaction. Actually made me feel better seeing human interaction in these types of videos lol

[@ll5584]

15:45 👍👍 Hi, good to be so cool dude👍 Thanks for the walk Ken , quite relaxing 👍👍

[@bigrichfish]

7:45, one of the best places to stop for a chocolate eggcream and some fries, been there a long long time, Rays Candy Store

[@Picker286]

The great jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker lived on Avenue B for a time, and I'm glad Charlie Parker Place was included on your walk. Ave B and 10th street.

[@9wyn]

I enjoy listening to just the sound of the city. It feels as if I am actually walking alone in the city. Thank you ActionKid.

[@moz__6148]

This neighborhood seems very calm and quiet ! Manhattan have it's tranquil places after all, even at rush hours! Please keep going to show us these underrated areas along with well known places :)

[@estherstephens1858]

I’m behind watching your videos AK but I was super excited to watch this one. I lived in alphabet city around 1970-1973 however the bldg I lived in wasn’t shown. I wondered why. I googled it and found that is Is now the garden you passed @21:20. Also, I didn’t see if you stopped at Katz’ Deli. If it’s still there. It was there for decades. They had AWESOME sandwiches!!

[@ActionKid]

Wow that’s shocking your building isn’t there anymore. Yes, Katz is still around and still popular as always 😃

[@georgeburghard3415]

How about walking the streets. I grew up in this area and would love to see the streets. Thanks, in advance.

[@johne3439]

Thank you for this walk down my childhood years. I felt like I was looking into my future as a child during the walk. the neighborhood has changed a lot. 😃

[@allwaysamarine6528]

Thanks for showing me my old neighborhood, bro. Great job!👏🇵🇷

[@bojaryn]

Greeting from Moscow! I like watching your channel. I’ve never been in NY by myself, but I can see how it looks like thx to u 👍🏻😀

[@infinite_vortex]

Have you ever watched Nelson Sullivan on youtube? He was vlogging in Alphabet City and other parts of NYC in the 80's! He passed away in 1989 but has hundreds of hours of 80's NYC uploaded. I just recorded a video in Alphabet City last week :) You inspired me to walk. I parked by Thompkins Square Park and walked to Washington Square Park and back!

[@pastafazoule]

action the hero 8 looks fantastic,keep up your great work

[@DCL26]

Thanks for that walk AK. I'm sorry I didn't get to see you, but you do cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time! Be well, safe travels.

[@nursemichelle911]

Loved this... brought back so many memories. I lived on ave c and 7th back in 98-2001.

[@mimasgarden1265]

Wow how I enjoyed this walk.. loved the smooth sound of my beloved NYC... found this by coincidence, would love to know if you are still doing these walk videos and if so would you go walk my neighborhood which I miss so much.. I grew up on Delancey St... ( Baruch Projects across the street from Masaryk Towers) I love to see the building 288, and surroundings.. NYC girl 4ever...

[@timedriverable]

Listening to your footsteps reminds me of playing GTA on play station lol.

[@madelinepearl7473]

I lived at 30 Avenue B with my parents from 1943-1953. It had a kitchen and a bedroom and bath and the rent was $25.00 a month. I remember that large church on 3rd Street between Avenue B and A that used to scare the hell out of me because of its size. I used to roller skate at Thompkins Square Park, and I had the bruised knees to show it. What great memories. Moved away to the Bronx in 1953 and lived there for 20 years. Now on Long Island for 48 years and staying. Thanks for going down my old block.

[@emintey]

That's Most Holy Redeemer Church. I was born in 1951 and grew up in the projects, I went to St. Brigid's Church and school on Ave. B. I moved out of New York about 40 years ago and have hardly been back, but memories still remain.

[@madelinepearl7473]

@@emintey It was great taking a tour of the old neighborhood. Only a few things look the same like the building I lived in. There used to be a movie house on Avenue B..Loews Avenue B. I think it was between 5th and 6th Street. I went to PS 15 on 4th Street between Avenue C and D. The school is still there but they changed the name to Roberto Climenti Public School. You are right about the memories.

[@emintey]

@@madelinepearl7473 Madeline, you were young when you left the neighborhood and I'm sure there was no Loews theatre on Ave B. There was the Loew's Commodore on 1st Ave between 6th and 7th St. which later became the Fillmore East. There was also the Loew's Delancey on Delancey St. There were a lot of small independent movie houses in the neighborhood, on E. 3rd St. was the American between Ave C and B, and on Clinton St. Just south of Houston was the Palestine (later the Winston) and several others. My mother would give the kids a quarter and another quarter for candy to get us out of her hair when there was no school...this was before the crime rate was a concern. I lived in the neighborhood until I was in my early 20's.

[@madelinepearl7473]

@@emintey OK...some info for you. The Loews Avenue B was built in 1913. It was at the intersection of Avenue B and 5th Street. It closed in 1958 and was demolished in 1968. I remember that movie house well because my mother made me go to that movie house alone to see the movie King Kong..my first movie by myself. I also remember the movie house between B and C . They charged 30 cents a ticket for adults and 20 cents for kids(LOL). Just do a google search on the Loews Avenue B..

[@emintey]

@@madelinepearl7473 Wow, you're right. I have no recollection of that theatre.

[@jeahavvalentin980]

Cool 😎 video

[@Pattaya101]

This is a serious thing and you are one of the best

[@b-a4798]

Very nice . I miss narration but like very much that you seem to turn the camera to look in stores more instead of just straight . Please do that more often on your walks 😀

[@lacostaesteconpaty4582]

Thanks for 🙂Sharing videos God-bless you🙏🏼

[@01ruudjemulder]

AK. Did you made a video about Pearlstreet, Coenties Alley, Southstreet Seaport, Stonestreet and surroundings already ?? At the intersection Pearlstreet and Coenties Alley you'll find Dutch history. The remains of an old Tavern !!! Ruud Mulder (NYC-FAN) The Netherlands......

[@ActionKid]

I’ve done a video there already

[@paulmcdonough1093]

the library pub on av a is a good rock bar

[@BlazinSpeed]

[@01ruudjemulder]

This area looks more like a residential area ......I better check this neighborhood out by bike because I have to visit all the boroughs within 10 days holiday. Ruud Mulder NYC-Fan The Netherlands

[@Bandolero8000]

AK, you should do a street art tour. The Village, Harlem, Bushwick, so many places.

[@raineyj560]

13:59 looks like the girl in the Netflix show "The Stranger " 😳

[@ashwilliams4989]

What time was this film recorded? Early morning like ~ 7AM? edit: in the measure of watching, I come to the conclusion that it's rather late afternoon 🙃

[@ActionKid]

Late afternoon

[@arjivar]

When I watch your videos, sometimes I remember a song by a salsa music singer from The Bronx named Hector Lavoe that says: "The street is a jungle of cement and wild beasts, of course. There's no one who goes crazy with happiness anymore. Wherever the worst awaits you". I traslated the lyrics the best I could.

[@ras124]

Alphabet City in the 80s/90s was SICK!

[@Denis-jd6dd]

Nice!!!!!

[@jjblack4905]

Earlier in the vid they has them cellar doors open and i said to myself why dont they have some orange cones their then at 30.03 they do

[@johnnynoirman]

If want take a walk thru Bronx river ave/ Westchester ave. let me know. We would take the number 6 to Whitlock ave.

[@mikioni]

[@treezmathew]

I love NYC!

[@whoknowsthebowler]

Would love to know what time of Day is it ? From Scotland

[@ActionKid]

I think this was recorded around 5:00PM

[@whoknowsthebowler]

@@ActionKid Thanks pal.

[@AenselWalkingVideos]

15:34 - I never understand why people find it ok to interrupt someone who is obviously filming...

[@artvandelay7236]

I had a tiny apt. on Ave C back in the late 80's. It was $400/month.

[@monica-NJ-123]

My daughter just moved out of alphabet city , after 30 yrs , its come a long way ! Hope it survives the corona virus

[@JonJonMorales]

Hey I probably missed it but what time of day was this?

[@ActionKid]

Around 5:00PM

[@samirrami4586]

well done.

[@b-a4798]

It used to be if you saw a person walking and talking to themselves they were a bit odd . Now lots of people walk and talk with unseen phones .

[@b-a4798]

Streets Vision Yes I know that . That’s what I was trying to say .

[@mylusernameslJustin]

Lol 1:48 they bumped into each other but it looked like the one guy did it on purpose almost

[@Relaxedwalker4k]

Oh wow! You're famous now!!

[@bamlize]

Because of the cleaning crews, I am assuming this is early morning. Only 9 minutes in. What time is it? Am I right?

[@ActionKid]

It’s late afternoon

[@tomaszkurynski3161]

Hello from Poland :D

[@elisecliftonklitz]

Thank you.🍎 I miss the East village and quiet early morning walks in Manhattan 🍎

[@dannygroom3327]

What about D Too scary?

[@mrn13]

Is this the area that was dangerous in the 70:s up to early 90:s? Or is that exaggerated?

[@ActionKid]

Yes, there was a lot more crime in those days compared to now.

[@timfaracy754]

You found the new subway stairs at Avenue A & 14th Street.

[@shanewa14]

Anyone know the song at 21 out of interest?

[@alexsummy7509]

13:14 $8 for a shot and a PBR. What a bargain!

Gonna miss the good old payphones!! 😞😞😞What total BS to take them down. They were some of the great iconic symbols of our great city. The People who were complaining about them must have not been real New Yorkers!!! 😡😡😡

[@timothyboothe8345]

great video. Alphabet City is still Alphabet City. I will never understand the impulse to graffiti.

[@BradThePitts]

As late as the early 90's, Alphabet City was a dreadful place. Why? There was nothing to "anchor it" - no major hotels, hospitals, museums, commercial places, or even a subway stop. There was NO reason to go there unless you lived there. The streets were poorly lit at night and many of the buildings were abandoned.

[@MrRalphRosa]

Nice video but I miss the narration !!

[@randalrogers4671]

What happened to the graffiti and torn down buildings and homeless alphabet city changed man

[@aloof5746]

Sheesh nobody speaks ...

the city should have a more aggressive graffiti elimination program. TOO MANY GRAFFITI ARTISTS
